Referring to the drawing in detail, the strap comprises a length of fabric material, the side edges thereof being curved inwardly as at 5, providing clearances for the legs of the baby held by the strap.

At each end of the body portion 8 of the strap, is a securing strap I which straps include buckles a whereby the body portion may be secured to the back of a high chair, as shown by the drawing.

In positioning the device, the strap l at one end of the body portion 6 is positioned around the back of a high chair, as shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing. The baby is then seated on the narrow portion of the body 8, and the loose end of the strap is now brought upwardly between the legs of the baby, and the strap 7 at this end or the body 6, is positioned around the back of the high chair, securing the baby in the high chair.

From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided a strap which may be secured within a high chair and a baby held within the high chair, by the strap, in such a way that the baby cannot possibly work out of the strap, or slide through the sides of the strap to fall or get ,out of the high chair.
